Deal with binary sequences
Hello,
I have come across the necessity for me to deal with binary sequences and I had a few questions.
1- Does any UNIX scripting language provide any tool or command for converting text data to binary sequences? Example of binary sequence: "0x97 0x93 0x85 0x40 0xd5 0xd6 0xd7"
2- If I want to concatenate this one line of binary sequence to a file, do I need to translate it first before using the cat command?
Moving into unknown territory there, I was hoping some of you guys had dealt with similar things at some point. Thanks by advance.
